So I went to download the first 40 pages and I can’t get the file to open. I’m cursed I tell ya.
Hmmm. I was able to download it. 40 pages is deceiving. It get you thru chapter one, with a bunch of FWD stuff beforehand tho. When I got book, I started on chapter 2…after the download.
I’m fixing my bike tonight so I will be able to ride to a bookstore once it stops snowing.

I would be interested! I’ve never been in a book club but I’ve heard great things about that book and it might actually motivate me to read it if I have a group to report to

Oooookaaaay… So, I’m reading This Naked Mind. Some of it is extremely interesting. But, as a biologist, I am having some serious issues. I will keep reading, even though my husband is going to get tired of my exasperated outbursts.
Please, everyone: every living thing on this planet is capable of homeostasis. In fact, it is one of the defining characteristics of life. Humans are not amazing or unique in this regard. Even bacteria attain homeostasis, with regard to certain aspects of the environment.
There. I’ve vented. I will finish the book in silence and will not say another word until 4/2. I promise.

@Ninetales Thank you! I’m not a biologist, but had some serious issues with the way Grace presented some of the “facts.” I come from a family of educators and scientists so I had real trouble with some of the claims she put forth. I read the entire book and found it interesting but not mind blowing. (My family got annoyed with my mutterings while reading too.) I’d love to join the book club, but will we be allowed to honestly address flaws or criticize the book, @SweetTea? I don’t want be adversarial or trigger anyone, but I would like to be able to be myself. Thoughts?

Feel free to join the discussion. You can share whatever you want. Differing viewpoints will only improve the discussion imo.

@SweetTea Thanks! I try to be nonconfrontational and frankly timid, but I’m trying to find my voice. However, if my voice is hurting others’ sobriety, then I need to reexamine my voice.

Hi @SweetTea. I love the idea of having a book Club here. Would love to join in although I’m struggling a little with English language especially explaining myself but still I’d love to participate on the discussion…
